粒子加速器是世纪的一项重大发明。在过去的80年里，它们发生了巨大的变化，从根本上改变了我们生活、思考和工作的方式。加速器是最强大的显微镜，用于观察细胞、基因、分子、原子及其组成部分（例如质子、中子、电子、中微子和夸克）的最微小内部结构。这为材料科学、化学和分子生物学开辟了一个全新的世界。具有兆瓦束功率的加速器可能最终解决我们社会面临的一个关键问题，即核废料的处理和替代能源的供应。在世界各地也有数以万计的小型加速器。它们每天都被用于医学成像、癌症治疗、放射性同位素生产、高密度芯片制造、质谱分析、货物X射线/伽马射线成像、爆炸物和非法药物的检测以及武器。这卷提供了一个全面的审查这一驱动和迷人的领域。海报（亦有1118 x406毫米大小）展示粒子加速器由1919年至未来的历史及发展，可另购
Particle accelerators are a major invention of the 20th century. In the last eight decades, they have evolved enormously and have fundamentally changed the way we live, think and work. Accelerators are the most powerful microscopes for viewing the tiniest inner structure of cells, genes, molecules, atoms and their constituents such as protons, neutrons, electrons, neutrinos and quarks. This opens up a whole new world for materials science, chemistry and molecular biology. Accelerators with megawatt beam power may ultimately solve a critical problem faced by our society, namely, the treatment of nuclear waste and the supply of an alternative type of energy. There are also tens of thousands of small accelerators all over the world. They are used every day for medical imaging, cancer therapy, radioisotope production, high-density chip-making, mass spectrometry, cargo x-ray/gamma-ray imaging, detection of explosives and illicit drugs, and weapons. This volume provides a comprehensive review of this driving and fascinating field. The poster (also available in 1118 x 406 mm size) which illustrates the history and development of particle accelerators from 1919 to the future can be purchased separately
